For the USA/ UK uni anon, there are a few things you could look into (1) Prices (UK is cheaper) (2) UK courses= 3years, USA= 4years (3) They use different grading systems and weigh your work differently (4) People generally study 1 subject in the UK (5) UK uses a universal application process (called UCAS) and you only pay about £20 to apply for 5 unis, you pay and apply individually for US unis (6) UK student visa allows employment to 20hp/w (7) There are very few UK scholarships
This is so helpful, thank you!! Also wtf is with paying for each individual application!?

minnie-studies said: Iโd also like to add that thereโs a difference between Scottish unis and the rest of the UK. Scottish degrees are 4 years and tend to be more flexible than English ones. You will still apply for a specific degree title but at many universities the first 2 years are more flexible allowing you to study a range of subjects. This may be any subject you like or just within your department (e.g. science or humanities). I think this is a good balance between England and US.

Private universities in the US are veeeery expensive and skew the data slightly, but they have generous financial aid programmes. State universities in the US are cheaper than British.
